THE suit against the Atlantic & Pacific Railroad Company to re- cover taxes due Apache county comes up 10 be tried upon it's mer- its in the Federal Court which is to convene in Prescott on June 9th.
 It will be interesting to our coun- ty at least, to see this case brought square up on its merits and tried, and be relieved from the dilatory motions, sickness, eye affections and everything else which tends to delay the case, as has been the re- suits during the past year. The Atlantic X Pacific Railroad Com pany have always maintained to Apache county that it did not owe us any taxes, and under it's charter it was not liable to taxation by us or any body; but it did agree to pay us at rate of s4.000 per mile of its roadway; and did, according to agreement, until the stealing and destruction of the county records, which included the destruction of everything in relation to the com promise, when it took advantage of the county and said it never made any such compromise at all.
 Long and protracted interviews and correspondence with our Board of Supervisors since this matter has been taken into the courts, to stop the suit and accept another compromised, based on 5000 per mile of its roadway, or just one- half of its former compromise, have failed to have any effect on the gentlemen composing the Boards, some of them knowing full we'll the circumstances con nected with the former compromise, and all know, any one who will not acknowledge a compromise made in the past, is not liable to confine himself to a compromise or prom ise made for the future.
 It is not compromises Apache county wants. The county wants to know whether or not this Rail- road Company is liable to taxation, and if it Is, wants to put 1t upon the tax roll of the county, subject to the same laws and conditions as any other taxpayer, If 1t is not, the county does not want to tax it, and does not want any of its pres cnts or "amicable settlements, We do not want to tax any one, or any thing, that is exempt from taxa tion, but we do want to tax ali who are taxable and treat all taxpayers alike-no distinction. The Allan tic and Pacific Railroad can now show the court and the people that part of it's charter which excmpts it from taxation.

least Congress can do Is to make an adequate
appropriation to provide serviceablo arms and
fonts and other articles necessary for camps or
instruction. Many of tho States nov have no
militia worthy Of the name.
In connection with this subject It Is proper
to say that this Is not fit time to disband

less than 1000. This in a population OF

FOR TIE NATIONAL DEFENCE

The seacoasts of thu United States are now
practically defenceless. There is not single
fertilization capable of withstanding tho fire of
an ordinary steel gun, such modern vessels
are supplied with. 1t will be many years
before we shall have au efficient navy, and
it is improbable that We shall ever have
navy capable Of guarding all the
important cities on the seacoast This
can only be done with the aid of strong
Notifications and heavy guns We are not only
without suitable Notifications. but We do not
possess the lest hiRh-pOwer guns. What ia
more, We have t the plant necessary for the
manufacture of heavy ordnance.
The Government Gun Foundry Board re-
ported that it would take two or three years to
establish that plant. If the Nations interests
should be imperi.led by the action Of foreign
Power, we might have to wait years before we
could be ready to cope with it. In the mean
time, billions Of dollars worth Of property
would be- at the mercy of an enemy's feet. The
facts have been laid before Congress officially
several times. The Senate has passed salts
factory bills, but these receive consideration
from the House. Only a few millions of dollars
are necessary to establish the plant, but il
takes time to do the work. The country should
bear in mind that this delay, unfortunate and
inexcusable, is caused by the Democrats in
control of the House.
The bill to provide arms and equipments for
the militia has met with like treatment. In
1903, when the population Of the country was
only 100000. an annual appropriation of
100000 was made for that purpose.
Although the population Is now seven times as
great, the appropriation remains the same.
Frequent recon endations by the President
and Secretary of War to enlarge the appro-
priation as necessary for the proper distribution
OF arms, have been disreRarded by the House.
The Senate, under the lead of Mr.. Sewsll,
passed n bill at tho last session TO remedy tho
defects In the existing law. but the House did
not concur. 1t has now pnssed the Senate bill,
though reducing BY one-t third the appropriation
Il provided for. It will not be many years before
the ast remnant Of the grand army OF veterans
" no took part In the late war will have passed
